Hey Laowinners!
If you haven't seen Vivi visits Amish country it's here:

I didn't include this scene because this woman VERY MUCH did not want to be filmed, but I figured I'd run the camera to the side to get the conversation.
Most of the Amish people we met were really opposed to cameras of any type, but that is to be expected. We were respectful, but even filming near them was enough to set some people off. Either way, we did what we could.
Vivi was really impressed that people could choose to live such a bare bones lifestyle, but pointed out that it's not really fair that they get to live out their fantasies, while getting big discounts on healthcare, emergency services, and big tax breaks. In that way, they are not fully self sufficient. Either way, it was quite nice to see such devotion to a way of life.
Enjoy the extra scene!
Thank you so much for all of your support.
